272 Chapter 271/commanding

when he heard that he was going to take all of it, even though zhao xu had already trained his heart to control it well, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions.

antonya didn’t keep zhao xu in suspense and immediately explained to him, ” “as long as you don’t make a choice before you leave this space …”

“The fragment of truth will activate and drag you into a certain historical scene before you officially leave the space. at that time, you will experience a historical scene, and based on the requirements and evaluation given to you, you will receive 0 – 3 of the abilities.”

After hearing this, Zhao Xu was deep in thought about whether or not he should do this.

0-3 option meant that the scenario rating was very low, and the original one option would be discarded.

however, he also gained the possibility of getting all three rewards.

“mentor, what’s the scene like?” zhao xu continued to ask antonya.

“in the past, the scene that i deduced was the revenge of a princess of a destroyed country. in the end, i managed to get my revenge in that scene and took all the truth fragment rewards.” antonya recalled.

but after zhao xu heard this, his slightly furrowed eyebrows didn’t relax.

he said,”but i think i can finish learning these level 3 spells by today.” i originally planned to enter that ‘half-plane’ tomorrow, but if anything happens to the historical scene, i’m afraid it’ll delay the progress of the ‘scavenger half-plane’. ”

the first time zhao xu got his hands on that key, he was sent to the starfall lake, and after a few days, he was completely exhausted.

He didn’t want to waste another ten days or half a month in that scenario for the other two rewards of the truth fragment.

this scenario itself has a time limit. You’ll be kicked out after 12 hours, so don’t worry. The transition will be smooth. Antonya explained.

Zhao Xu did some calculations in his heart and realized that even if he spent all 12 hours here, he wouldn’t actually be able to make it to noon the next day.

therefore, he could still make it to the death demiplane before noon the next day.

“lacus, do you have any ideas?” zhao xu said to lux in his heart.

“Well, I think we can give it a try. After all, none of them are things that we can use perfectly in the near future. in any case, it’s going to be a flatbread in the future, so why don’t we just make it bigger?”

Zhao Xu almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

the biggest piece of cake on his body was lux.

after talking to antonya, zhao xu decided that it was better for them to enter the historical scene and try to get three rewards.

then, zhao xu put all his attention into his spell copying plan.

to be honest, this was his original intention for entering the final scroll.

and this entire process took zhao xu a few more minutes than before.

He kept copying those level 3 spells into the depths of his heart.

time was slowly passing by.

After Zhao Xu finished his plan of copying the information that day, he and Antonya returned to their original positions and started activating the ritual circle that they had used to return to their original positions.

But Zhao Xu’s body didn’t immediately return to the seventh level of the obelisk, where Antonya’s door of truth laboratory was located.

Instead, as he had said before, he appeared in a hotel room after a moment of trance.

at this moment, zhao xu slowly walked to the side and looked at himself in the bronze mirror on the table. he had a completely new look on his face. he was now a middle-aged man with a pale face.

But Zhao Xu immediately noticed that there was a piece of paper on his chest, as if an invisible person had just thrown it in.

zhao xu didn’t think too much about it and just took out the piece of paper from his chest and opened it up.

“18 years ago, you were originally just a farmer. After being captured by a group of bandits who ransacked the village, you were reduced to a slave. You have been locked up in a dark mine vein to mine ores. many years later, you became a powerful mage by digging out a mysterious badge.”

“after killing the person in charge of the mine, you ran back to your original village. in the end, we found out that the village had long been burned down by those bandits. you made a blood oath to the divine weapon, and you will definitely return a tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood.”

[note: the successful extermination of an entire clan will automatically be viewed as a completed scenario.]

at the back of the remaining note was the details of the castle of the noble family he was going to kill today, as well as the population distribution to the corresponding family.

when zhao xu finished reading the last word, the notes started burning on their own and turned into ashes.

it was actually a great mage’s revenge.

zhao xu didn’t think that he would end up playing such a role.

however, after confirming his mission, zhao xu touched the badge he had dug out on his chest and activated a teleportation spell to teleport himself to the castle he was assigned to.

As the first stop for gathering information on Wizards, Zhao Xu chose to do some on-site investigation first.

he cast the seventh-circle spell, illusionary spirit body, on himself.

In an instant, his entire body, along with the equipment on him, turned into a spirit, and he entered the spirit world plane, which overlapped with the main material plane.

When Zhao Xu looked back at the Prime Material Plane, he realized that everything in that world had turned gray and blurry. But as a spirit, he could still see and hear everything that was happening in the Prime Material Plane.

however, his vision and hearing were limited to about 20 meters. he lost connection with any further areas, as if he could only sense everything within the range of the torch.

zhao xu also used this spell to directly walk into the castle. Basically, no creature in the castle would be able to sense Zhao Xu’s presence without the level 6 truth-finder spell.

The advantage of Zhao Xu’s illusionary spirit body was that he wouldn’t be touched by the creatures in the castle. Even if they saw him, they wouldn’t be able to do anything. Only protective spells and force field spells would be able to affect him.

In addition to the noble family bringing a hundred people, there were many servants and hired farmers in the castle. It was even a miniature town.

The duration of illusionary spirit was calculated according to each level of wheel, but right now, he was equivalent to the him in the final scroll and had an unlimited number of spell slots.

Zhao Xu also had countless available metamagic feats, so he could just use his illusory spirit body spell to maintain it for a long time.

After walking around the castle for about an hour, Zhao Xu had basically figured out the distribution of all the people in the castle.

Zhao Xu started to think about his mission.

his current problem was that it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands.

it wasn’t that he couldn’t beat them, but if he started killing and was discovered by the nobles in the castle …

then, the other party would not stupidly stay here, but would directly escape.

this would definitely affect his mission completion rate.

he knew that this was just a simulation to test him, so zhao xu naturally didn’t feel any guilt when he started killing the virtual human.

What made him feel conflicted was how he should resolve this as soon as possible.

Besides, his target was only the Noble’s entire family. As for the servants and farmers in the castle, they were all innocent, so Zhao Xu would naturally let them go.

otherwise, he could also prepare a few large-scale killing spells and destroy the castle directly.

After a while, Zhao Xu finally let out a sigh.

he silently muttered to himself that this would harm the heavens and the peace, and then quietly drifted into a tightly shut door.

At this time, a middle-aged man was sleeping on the bed, and beside him was a maid who was also disheveled.

there were records of this middle-aged man defiling many innocent women in the castle, so in zhao xu’s eyes, he deserved to die.

zhao xu decided to cast a beguiling spell on this man so that he would be the one to execute the order to kill each other.

” command ” was a level 6 spell for mages. it could instruct creatures to carry out a mission, but the only thing was that it could not be suicide or a mission that would definitely kill them.

if the other party didn’t execute it, they would be injured and fall into a state of disgust every day.

But before Zhao Xu started, he switched to an even higher level spell, ” family command.

This level eight spell was based on the original ” Command “, which extended to the category of family.

If the target dies before the order is completed, the effect of the family command spell will be passed on to his closest adult relative.

After Zhao Xu removed his illusionary spirit body, he switched to using the ultimate invisibility.

At the same time, he also spent a full 10 minutes casting family command on the person in front of him.

that way, the other party’s family would continue to carry out zhao xu’s ” family extermination ” order.

This was also the reason why this spell had never seen the light of day and had been sealed up. It was too cruel and overbearing.

“Master, why don’t you use another round of ‘blood oath’?” Lacus suggested.

“lacus, are you really that ruthless?” Zhao Xu said with a frown.

it’s just an illusion anyway. Besides, we’re performing a mental interpretation for this mage. lacus continued to persuade zhao xu. ” also, master, this kind of revenge will actually be beneficial for you to enter the death god’s interdimensional space tomorrow. ”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu’s expression changed a little. It was true that he didn’t need to worry too much about a fake scene.

as he thought about this, zhao xu looked directly at the man he had already cast the family command spell on and cast another blood oath spell on him.

Blood oath was a level 5 spell, and it could only be cast on the target creature that had just been ‘ordered’.

Once the target creature died before the mission was completed, this spell would take effect and turn the target into an undead creature, which would continue to carry out the content of the ‘command’ spell.

he would not even let go of death.

After that, Zhao Xu also switched to his transformed spirit form and was ready to observe the man’s next move.

” my master is so kind. you can’t be thinking of removing the command spell later, right? ” Lacus couldn’t help but say this when she saw that Zhao Xu was going to continue observing.

But before Zhao Xu could reply, a notification appeared on his screen.

[ prompt: adventurer zhongxia’s response is the same as the mage in history. he will receive three rewards. scene over. ]
